A Culture of Deception Dominates WHO Bird Flu Releases

WHO Is Looking Out for You?

By Marilyn Bardsley

July 14, 2006

Culture of Deception

If ever there was a need for clear and accurate information about the spreading and rapidly mutating avian influenza, it is now as the threat of a pandemic looms increasingly large. At a time when governments and individuals around the world are making preparations to battle a potentially life-altering disaster, there is no need for a group of bureaucratic elites to decide what information people are capable of handling.

The U.N.'s World Health Organization (WHO) has published its guidelines for the communicating information about disease outbreaks, but these guidelines have not prevented a deliberate culture of deception from dominating the statements WHO makes to the press.

It has been suggested that WHO does not want people to panic, hence they are not candid when significant events in the evolution of a pandemic are unfolding. What is wrong with this rationale?

There was a documentary aired about 1 year ago on National Television addressing the believed causes of the 1918 flu. It was based on confirmed reports from both British and US researchers.

It was quite alarming, because they made it clear that compromised immune systems were the secondary factor for it getting out of control. Although for different reasons now, the world population still has the same degree of vulnerability.

AIDS and multi drug resistent strains of bacteria. They reckoned things could get out of control in no time.

Great news........eh?

Just about everything coming out about bird flu is scary as hell. Indonesia is a complete disaster and both China and Thailand have completely censored all news on this subject. The city of Shanghai decided over the weekend that it needs to quickly build an emergency health facility (read quarantine center) for SARS and H5N1. The WHO has quickly put together a pandemic advisory board which has just met for the first time. The World Bank and IMF have issued a pandemic warning. Now even the Indonesian health bureaucracy is starting to realize that it may have an unidentified mammalian reservoir that may be causing the human cases.

We all better stock up on food. There is only one way to ensure survival and that is to stay in the house and not let anyone in. There won't be enough antivirals, there will not be a vaccine until at best case the second wave starts and hospitals will become morgues.

You are obviously very well informed about this subject. But in all honesty, I don't think that the American media is giving it anywhere near the coverage it deserves. The US government are not preparing their people or their clinics to cope with this, and unlike most of Asia, they have the facilities and the means to do so.
